For this card I've used another of my 'transformed' background papers - garish colours painted with a thin coat of gesso to tone them down and over stamped with various textures. looking through my stamp collection I came across this image and as it reminded me of a blueprint drawing I stamped with blue ink and clear embossed. Two more stamps from the set were used in the same way before cutting out with scissors to add to the layout along with a label birthday greeting.
